A triangle loop of wire (length of each side is 5 cm and the angle between legs is 600) hangs vertically as shown in Fig.6. A magnetic field B is directed horizontally, perpendicular to the wire, and points out of the page at all points and passes through half of the triangle. The loop hangs from a balance which measures a downward magnetic force (in addition to the gravitational force) of F = 5.0 x 10-2 N when the wire carries a current I = 0.5 A. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field B?
